Ten Japanese artists, invited to attend seven institutions in the
Carolinas, interpreted the link and disconnect between artificial
and natural, and modernity and environment. Using nature and common
images, the artists spent six weeks in developing their response to
their city, the environment, and the world.
Each work presented in this volume proposes a reverent
understanding of humanity's relationship and response to its
environment. Ranging from naphthalene castings to imaginary
topographical landscapes to sound-based and multimedia sculptures,
the artists used only natural materials to create art. Analyzing
age and decay, life and rebirth, and destruction and renewal, the
artists engaged with the idea of circularity and its implications
for us and our world.
Through in-depth descriptions and striking images, Forces of
Nature provides an insightful look into the re-imagined world of
these ten artists. With commentary by the project collaborators,
Mark Sloan and Brad Thomas, this multiyear, multidimensional
project challenges the reader to look again, to look back, and to
reflect.
